Looping through a page several times.

Hello people. I have this script here:

// Registration form processor

include ("common.inc.php");
if (!isset($conn)) {
$conn = dbConnect();
}

if (!$submit_cdkey) {
global $submit_cdkey;
global $process;
$process = 1;

$page = new FastTemplate (".");
$page->define(array("cdkeypage" => "cdkey.html"));

$page->assign("error", $error);
$page->assign("stepnumber", "Registration Step 1 of 4");
$page->assign("formaction", $PHP_SELF);

$page->parse("MAIN", "cdkeypage");
$page->FastPrint();

} else {

if ($process == 1) {
	$cdkeyok = subkeyVerify($conn, $cdkey);
	echo ("CDKEY Checked. CDKEYOK = ". $cdkeyok );
	if ($cdkeyok == 2) {
	  $error = "<ul><li>You entered an invalid Registration Key. <br>Please try Again.</li></ul>";
	  $page = new FastTemplate (".");
	  $page->define(array("cdkeypage" => "cdkey.html"));
	  $submit_cdkey = FALSE;
	  $process = 1;

      $page->assign("error", $error);
      $page->assign("stepnumber", "Registration Step 1 of 4");
  	  $page->assign("formaction", $PHP_SELF);

      $page->parse("MAIN", "cdkeypage");
      $page->FastPrint();

	}elseif ($cdkeyok == 0) {
	  $error = "<ul><li>That Registration key is already in use. <br>Please try Again.</li></ul>";
	  $page = new FastTemplate (".");
	  $page->define(array("cdkeypage" => "cdkey.html"));
	  $submit_cdkey = FALSE;
	  $process = 1;

      $page->assign("error", $error);
      $page->assign("stepnumber", "Registration Step 1 of 4");
	  $page->assign("formaction", $PHP_SELF);

      $page->parse("MAIN", "cdkeypage");
      $page->FastPrint();

	}else {
		$process = 2;
		echo ("Yeah. That's right. Display customer details now.");
	}
echo ("We shouldn't be here.");
}

}

The FastTemplate that is being called, is this:

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="head">
<tr background="gfx/bakhead.gif">
<td background="gfx/bakhead.gif"><img src="gfx/funcomlogo.gif" width="135" height="73"></td>
<td background="gfx/bakhead.gif"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="stepnumber">{stepnumber}</div>
<form name ="form1" method="post" action="{formaction}">
<table width="75%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="50%">
<h2>CD Key</h2>
<div class="warning">{error}</div>
</td>
<td width="50%"> </td>
</tr>
</table>

</td>
  <td width="50%" valign="top" class="about">This is the number found on the 
    game CD. Example #3454-23-sss-223</td>

</tr>
</table>
</form>
<p><a href="customerinfo.html">next</a></p>

</table>
</body>

Now, the problem is:

I run through it once, and it displays the page fine on the first run. I then submit a cdkey, ANY cdkey - (which is checked through a subroutine not shown here - subkeyVerify). The subroutine returns cdkey ok = 1, 2 or 0 depending on the outcome. That part works, I've checked it.

However, no matter what I put into the CDKEY field, the script turns up a blank page! (it submits to itself, as can be deducted from the script).

Something is wrong here....

Help?

By any chance, are the results any different between clicking on the submit key and hitting the enter key when a form control has focus (other than the submit button).

I didn't completely analyze the code, never used FastTemplates before, but have had a similar problem. When you hit enter instead of clicking on the button the global button value is NOT SET to anything. With that said, I now try to check if other fields are set instead of the button b/c it only works when you click on it. The problem with this is that it looks like if you were to just hit enter, the buttons value should be blank, thus it should display the first page again.

Sorry for the ramble, don't know if it helped at all =) Good luck.

Happy coding,

Unfortunately, that was not very efficient - clicking on the submit button or hitting enter accomplishes the same effect.

I will try to look into using the cdkey field and report back if that worked.

Thanks!
